My primary care doctor suggested I consider PAE. I had been using Flomax, Super Beta Prostate as a means of controlling BPH which was at the moderate level (getting up 1-2 times a night). I didn’t consider the symptoms to be a big problem but they were frustrating; especially when traveling. Not being able to fully empty the bladder was frustrating when playing golf and any outdoor activities as I was always looking for a restroom.

I’m not a big consumer of heath care but when I do go to different offices, I’m often dismayed. Dr. Nuttings office is the standard every doctor and healthcare provider should strive for. It is literally the nicest, warmest and caring office I’ve ever been in. From the very first encounter with Emily at the front desk to Dr. Nutting himself, it is a concierge experience. Emily reached out and made the scheduling work around my schedule and Dr. Nutting was very warm and friendly. After the procedure, his nurses were the best. Literally the best I’ve ever encountered. It is a true first class operation. 

Dr. Nutting was very upfront about what I should experience post-procedure. He told me I most probably wouldn’t experience much if anything in recovery but may experience slight discomfort for the first two days. I didn’t have any challenges. Absolutely none. No pain and certainly no discomfort. I didn’t work out or do anything overly physical but just went about normal daily activities. I still took flomax until he called me a week after and he suggested I try stopping. Everyone in that office is top tier professional.

Literally a life changing event. I don’t even think about it. Previously, I’d cut my liquid intake around 6pm and stay slightly dehydrated before bed. I had to ensure I had packed my supplements and Flomax before I traveled. Had to ensure I had extras in case I was delayed or stayed a few extra days. I’m just “normal”. My “Normalness” was noticed on a recent week of fishing with colleagues on a week long fishing trip. They were up throughout the night and complaining. Someone mentioned I never got up during the night. I sleep much better and deeper sleep. I feel more rested when I wake up.

This is a life changing procedure. Super easy for the patient and a quick (if any) recovery. I’ve told all of my friends that if they have any issues at all, PAE is exactly what they need. Managing life as one gets older is often a matter of making compromises and living with them. PAE is the one procedure that eliminates the biggest inconvenience for any mature man. It just works and no side effects.
